Today marks one year since Brian Goldner died. Brian ran as CEO of Hasbro for 13 years, and has been with the company since 2000. Before that, he was Executive Vice President and COO of Bandai America, where he oversaw Bandai's United States operations, including merchandise for Power Rangers...

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2022/220714e.pdf Yesterday, news broke out that Nintendo is planning to acquire Dynamo Pictures, a Tokyo-based CGI animation company, by October of this year and renaming it "Nintendo Pictures" with the intent to accelerate its foray into the realms of...

Somewhere, Mr. Blinky is feeling a disturbance in the force.

Last year, in October, Hasbro's CEO and Chairman Brian Goldner (who also served as Bandai America's COO and Executive Vice President during Tamagotchi's heyday) passed away after a long battle with prostate cancer. Even though Hasbro is a competitor, at some point we must've wondered where they...

I've got some rather unfortunate news. Hasbro's chairman and CEO, Brian D. Goldner, has died from cancer after taking a medical leave of absence two days prior. Prior to joining Hasbro in 2000, Goldner was executive vice president and COO of Bandai America, and during his time there, he oversaw...

Ever since Bandai released this little video back in June, I've been wondering what the name of the song heard in it is. All I could get out of it is the lyrics, "Lift your head up high. It's gonna be alright." If anyone can tell me what the song's name is, I would sincerely appreciate it.

Philece Sampler, who was known for voicing a variety of Digimon characters including Mimi from Adventure 01 and Cody from Adventure 02, Taokaka from Blazblue, Toph from The Legend of Korra, and more, has died from a heart attack at 67, just 15 days before what would've been her 68th birthday. I...

This is a reason why I'm yearning for a dub of the anime; so that outlets will acknowledge Tamagotchi as far more than just "a toy from the 90's" and reconsider how they describe the franchise.

As good as the anime is, it kinda focuses more on selling merchandise (it's based on a toyline wholly owned by Bandai, a toy company, so of course merchandise sales are gonna be a top priority) than on being as close to an adaptation of the virtual pets as possible. There wasn't even a single...

The AR camera does seem like a decent use of technology, but I'm not sure about the buttons that we've been used to for 2 and a half decades being replaced by touch pads. Kinda breaks tradition and the pads may not be as responsive in some situations. Still too early to make a definitive call...

Well, Flash is gonna be Thanos-snapped off the face of the internet in a few hours. I just want to say thank you so much for granting access to these games after their official shutdowns, especially Dream Town in my case. And I wish you the best of luck in incorporating them to Ruffle so that...

That is wonderful news. I'm more into the Dream Town game because I adore the aesthetics of the anime and the game itself is too charming to just fade away, but I still whole-heartedly support those who'd rather support TamaTown.

I always felt that Tamagotchi has been pronounced correctly on advertising since Tamagotchi Friends. "Tamagatchi" just didn't sound right to me.

I've seen a Wonder Garden commercial on all the big 3 general kid audience channels (Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network). It's clear that Bandai America is really pushing Wonder Garden for the holidays. I'm just hoping that subsequent On localizations keep all the content from the...

So....any updates on progress?

I met a guy named Jordan on Twitter who is EXTREMELY persistent on Mametchi joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. I repeatedly told him that as a Tamagotchi fan, I felt that Digimon would be a much better choice. But what do you all think? Should the original charming aliens we know and love or...

"there's one incredibly long scene towards the end of the film where the EXACT SAME VERY SHORT LINE gets repeated over and over and over and over and over and over without pause for what feels like a solid five or so minutes" Are you referring to "Please Wake Up, Blackholetchi!"? Anyway, I...

@Alex GrigoriouThis also applies to Dream Town to me, but apparently the versions on famita run on Flash, which will be discontinued on December 2020. Do you have a backup plan?

Let's forget about 2020 for a moment and instead ponder about 2021, which will mark Tamagotchi's silver anniversary. What should Bandai do to make it awesome? You can vote for more than one answer.
